So I’m right about to buy this steering wheel, and I’m thinking about getting a quick release hub for a couple extra bucks. A buddy of mine with a neon says his wheel came with one but he never put it on because quote “it stuck out like 3 inches, was uncomfortable and looked stupid”. Just seein what you guys think about this? I think it would be a pretty good anti theft device when its in my driveway at night, but if its as bad as he makes it sounds I won’t bother. I don’t really care how it looks but how comfortable is it for you guys who are using them? I don’t want the wheel in my chest lol.

Also on a side note, 240sx s13 hub adapters will fit a 180 fine right?

Great, I can’t edit the title. I meant HUB lol

$90 shipped for a quick release hub is out of my budget…Unless a normal hub is going to be a huge deal than I could think about it I guess.

well hoestly, you gotto think about how tall you are, for someone thin and like 5;10 like me, i have a hub,then a quick release and i love how close it puts the wheel to me, and at no time has it looked stupid and alot of people like the feel of the wheel that close, other then the extra finger length you have to reach to hit the signal/wipers.  
depends all on personal prefrence.  
i can snap a pic with wheel on and off if you want tomorow.

jared, DO NOT cheap out on a quick release hub

ever seen one come off while driving because its a cheap china made one?

i havent personally, but ive heard from a buddy who bought the cheaper ebay ones that it happened to him.

the last thing youde want after just getting your car back would be having the ball bearings on a cheap qr round or w/e and have the wheel come off or go loose at highway speeds.
